First and foremost, we hope you are all doing okay in this unprecedented situation.
The reality of living in our city during this pandemic is causing a significant amount of stress and anxiety for so many people. And while we can’t offer all of the answers, we want you to know we are here to help.
New information is being disseminated by the government everyday with new advice and restrictions, as well as new initiatives and support packages for people.
We are very pleased that there is now a 24/7 hotline that is open to be able to provide people with the latest information about health advice and support for people – the number is 13 77 88.
In addition to this, our office will stay ‘open’ from 9am-5pm, Monday to Friday during this pandemic. We are working remotely to continue to support you. Please know that the Newtown Electorate Office Team is here to help.
We want to particularly extend this offer to assist people who are finding it difficult to keep track of information, especially for those without easy access to the internet – as well as those who don’t have family or friend support and are finding it difficult to access the things that they need.
We are keeping up to date with the latest information from NSW Health and the Premier’s Office and we are also connected to those who are offering services and setting up community-led initiatives to assist people who need help at this time.
If you don’t have easy access to the internet and would like assistance to be connected to supports, please feel free to give us a call on 9517 2800.
Things are moving quickly, so if you want to know more about our successful campaign for a moratorium on evictions and other measures to protect people from being evicted into homelessness during this crisis, our newly created ‘Hub’ to stay connected and support local businesses, or what we have been doing to support those in our school, childcare, and healthcare systems, we would encourage you to connect with us on Facebook, Instagram and/or Twitter.
Last but certainly not least, on behalf of all of us, thank you to all those who are continuing to work in health, education, care, and essential roles in our community at this time. We can all show our thanks to these people by staying home whenever we can.
Together, let’s help each other get through this.
